Babysitting Service
Trusted Care from Reliable Nannies
Reliable, vetted on-call nannies care for evenings, weekends, backup care, and the moments when your family needs a babysitter without a long-term commitment.
Families commonly use our service for:
- Date nights
- School closures
- Events
- Appointments
- Weekend plans
- Backup childcare
Every Nanny in our babysitting network completes Kensington’s screening process before being referred to a family. This gives families a more reliable alternative to searching independently for a sitter or last-minute childcare.
On-call bookings are based on nanny availability, so we recommend submitting care requests as early as possible, especially for evenings, weekends, holidays, and multi-day care needs.
How It Works
- 1. Submit your care request through the Kensington Nanny app or care request form.
- 2. Our team checks Nanny availability and coordinates the booking on your behalf.
- 3. Book care one day at a time or purchase a Prepaid Care Pack.
- 4. Your family pays the Nanny directly for their hourly time at the end of the booking.
